Problems solved by technology

However, due to the miniaturized and integrated technical restriction of the current RFID tag technology, how to additionally configure RFID tags on the surgical instruments becomes considerable difficulty and challenge.
The RFID tag, due to arrangement of the antenna, causes relatively large size and poor reading performance, and needs to be fitted on the surface of the surgical instrument or embedded to the surgical instrument in the way of the connecting mode.
The surgical instrument on which the tag is fitted in a traditional manner always causes inconvenience to clinical operations of doctors and is thus easy to lose.
Further, the encapsulating material is a biocompatible material according with implantation standards.

Embodiment Construction

[0033]Exemplary embodiments embodying features and advantages of the present disclosure will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that the present disclosure can have various variations, which neither departing from the scope of the disclosure, and description and drawings are essentially as illustrative and not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0034]As shown in FIG. 1, a surgical instrument of the present disclosure comprises an instrument body 1 and an encapsulated electronic device 2. The instrument body 1 is partially or completely made of a metal material, so that the instrument body 1 can serve as an antenna of the encapsulated electronic device 2. The instrument body 1 can be a surgical apparatus, such as haemostatic forceps or surgical scissors; the encapsulated electronic device 2 acting as a part structure member of the instrument body 1 constitutes the surgical instrument together with the instrument body 1, rather than bein...

Abstract

The disclosure discloses a surgical instrument which comprises an instrument body and an encapsulated electronic device, wherein the instrument body is partially or completely made of a metal material; the encapsulated electronic device comprises a radio frequency identification chip which is electrically connected with the instrument body; the instrument body, which serves as an antenna of the radio frequency identification chip, is configured to acquire the electromagnetic wave energy so as to activate the radio frequency identification chip. According to the surgical instrument, the instrument body, which serves as the antenna of the encapsulated electronic device, is configured to acquire the electromagnetic wave energy so as to activate the radio frequency identification chip, so that no antenna is needed to be configured in the encapsulated electronic device, and thus the encapsulated electronic device cannot affect operations of medical staff due to small size and can achieve excellent reading effect.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation application of PCT Application PCT / CN2015 / 074134, filed on Mar. 12, 2015, which claims priority to Chinese Application No. 201410127677.1, filed on Mar. 31, 2014, the contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present disclosure relates to a surgical instrument, which is particularly related to a tracking and positioning structure of the surgical instrument.BACKGROUND ART[0003]With the development of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, more and more RFID application requirements are proposed, such as management of surgical instruments in the medical industry. At present, in accidents of the medical industry, most of medical accidents are derived from incomplete sterilization process of surgical instruments and loss of instruments in the patient's body. It is thereby effective to prevent similar problems from happening by adopting the RFID technol...
